🌱🍸 Did you know? The Grasshopper cocktail is the perfect retro drink for St. Patrick's Day! ☘️
With its creamy texture & bright green hue, it's like a shamrock shake for grown-ups — but with crème de menthe magic.
Shake up some green goodness this year! Cheers to lucky sips!! 🥂💚

In 1972, Kraft promoted the "Jellygrill Sandwich," a unique combination of Velveeta cheese & grape jelly or strawberry preserves grilled between slices of bread. This unconventional pairing merited a full page ad, evidentially.
How do you think this recipe holds up 53 years later?

This recipe has been going around the socials and some have attributed it to Joan Crawford. We don't know if that's true or not... However, it looks like this would be a very tasty, quick and economical hors d'oeuvre or canapé.

Caraway seeds, rose water and cinnamon... This is not a flavor profile we've tried before, but it seems it was popular enough to merit a full page ad in the Ladies Home Journal back in 1923.

Not sure about the claim, "dish with an elegant air", but it does seem to to be an interesting idea and probably a good way to get the kids to eat tuna. At any rate, this is what Betty Crocker was up to in 1958.
